Big Yello Taxi Lyrics - Shine - Joni Mitchell

They paved paradise 

And put up a parking lot 

With a pink hotel, a boutique 

and a swinging hot spot 

Don't it always seem to go 

That you don't know what you've got 

Till it's gone 

They paved paradise 

And put up a parking lot 

They took all the trees 

And put them in a tree museum 

And they charged the people 

A dollar and a half just to see 'em

Don't it always seem to go 

That you don't know what you've got 

Till it's gone 

They paved paradise 

And they put up a parking lot 

Hey farmer farmer 

Put away that D.D.T. now 

Give me spots on my apples 

But leave me the birds and the bees 

Please! 

Dont it always seem to go 

That you don't know what you've got 

Till it's gone 

They paved paradise 

And put up a parking lot 

Late last night 

I heard the screen door slam 

Photos 

And a big yellow taxi 

Took away my old man 

Don't it always seem to go 

That you don't know what you've got 

Till it's gone 

They paved paradise 

And put up a parking lot 

I said don't it always seem to go 

that you don't know what you've got till its gone 

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot 

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot 

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
